An ex-butler who served the royal family for over two decades has issued a cautionary message to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex regarding the Prince of Wales’ protective nature towards his close kin.

Ever since their official departure as senior working royals in 2020, tensions have been brewing between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the rest of the royal family, making this latest warning all the more significant.

Following their decision to uproot their family and relocate to California, the situation has only escalated.

Paul Burrell, a former army veteran with 21 years of service, emphasized that the Prince of Wales, next in line to the throne, remains steadfast in shielding his family from external criticism, regardless of the circumstances.

Drawing from his personal experience serving the Prince of Wales until 1997, Burrell highlighted the predictability of the Prince’s actions in such matters.

Sources close to the royal family revealed to Closer magazine that the Prince of Wales is well aware of the Duke’s perceived unreliability and is actively taking steps to mitigate any potential conflicts within the family.

Unfazed by unwarranted criticism from overseas, the Prince of Wales stands firm in his resolve to maintain stability within the royal household.

The ongoing transformation of the Sussexes into a separate entity has become mere background noise to him, insignificant and easily disregarded.

Recently, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a public appearance at the SB 2024 awards ceremony on July 11.

During the event, the Invictus Games Foundation, an organization founded by the Duke, received the prestigious Pat Tillman Award in recognition of its contributions.

Despite the accolades, some questioned the Duke’s eligibility for the award, given the controversies surrounding the couple.

The star-studded event, held at the Dolby Theatre, featured tennis icon Serena Williams as the host.

In a rare encounter with royalty, Williams commended the Sussexes for their impact and influence.
